Flies!! And their wiggly children, with Mary Roach!

Hello Friends!!

I'm so excited to bring you todays episode...about flies! And maggots, which are actually pretty interesting and not as gross as you might think.

This time, I got the wonderful Mary Roach, author of Grunt, Bonk, Stiff, Spook, Packing for Mars, and Gulp, to join me! We had a wonderful conversation, and an enlightening back and forth about these little wiggly guys!

You can find Mary on twitter, @mary_roach, or on her website, maryroach.net.

Let me know what you think, and go check out some of her books, I love them!
